We have one or two concerns about ZoneAlarm Free Antivirus + Firewall,
notably that its antivirus database is only updated daily (hourly
updates are reserved for the commercial version), which leaves you more
exposed to the very latest threats,
The program does
provide plenty of functionality, though, with a capable,
AV-Test-certified antivirus engine, an easy-to-use firewall and some
browsing protection. It
does its best to keep things simple. Open the Preferences dialog, say,
and you'll find only 10 buttons and settings (and most of those you'll
never need to use).
The database update means it wouldn't
be our first choice, but if you're a fan of ZoneAlarm, or just want a
firewall and antivirus tool from the same company, this could be a good
choice.
